Sharpen your artistic pursuits in New York City and develop your artistic eye in multiple art media with New York City as your framework. These two-course packages are designed to combine one in-depth course with a more general conceptual course so that your study of art combines a solid foundation with a specialized study that matches your interests.
What better way to hone your artistic style by devoting 6 weeks to the study of art and film at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan! Now one of the hottest neighborhoods in New York City (Historic South Street Seaport) with the new Gehry Building and the rising Freedom Tower and Zuccotti Park nearby, Pace University is the place to be for the arts and is at the center of growth and revitalization in New York City.
